Zach proved himself to be a better boyfriend now than before. he never touched me unless I told him I was okay with it, and he changed my nickname to sweetpea instead of cupcake. I liked sweetpea a lot better. I was beginning to fall for him again, and it had only been a day and a half.

I was at an after-school choir practice later in the afternoon. we had finished no reason from beetlejuice when I noticed jimmy standing in the doorway to the theatre.

I stared angrily at him, but chest hurt like I really wanted jimmy to just say sike and we could be friends again.

"ms. gold," I said, finally looking away from jimmy. "can I use the restroom?"

she nodded. "yes, of course, dear," she said, smiling. "you're staying for drama, right?" I nodded. "wonderful, I'll fill you in after drama club."

I nodded again and scurried off the stage, pulling jimmy by the arm as he left the theatre. "you're really fucking annoying, you know that?" I said as soon as we were outside.

jimmy blinked. "wha-"

"just shut up," I snapped. my face was was hot and I felt like crying. "why are you even here this early? drama doesn't start for another five minutes."

jimmy looked down at the floor. "I forgot what time it started," he mumbled.

I sighed and looked away. "well, can you stop just... showing up?" my voice was small now. "I'm trying to focus on school and my relationship with Zach, and it's hard to do that when you're- you- ugh!" I stomped my foot. "just leave me alone, okay?! I don't want to be friends with you anymore!"

I turned and stormed back inside the theatre.

I didn't mean to tell him I didn't want to he friends, but... what choice did I have? Zach was my boyfriend. not jimmy.
